Hey new to the site but thought I'd post say g'day!

Here's my ride completely stock still but looking at

CAI
Exhaust
Lower
Tinting
Also play with some of the interior

Haven't had a chance/money to do anything yet cause I broke my back not long after buying her.. 

But back at work now and thought I'd post a photo of it now and keep you updated on what I'm doing with her as time goes on.




Yes I edited this in photoshop to see what she would look like lowered and tinted windows :) ha

@flabby yeah mate getting the wheels wrapped white :) as for a hard lid they're too expensive at the moment so just got the tarp !

Ok over this weekend I had a go at my interior and a few little things!

So I pulled this out to wrap in carbon vinyl and paint the drink up holder. Then I was installing little led lights under the dash and wanted to pull the cigarette lighter out and solder the wires to the back and run them off a switch at the front so you didn't have them constantly plugged in but couldn't figure out how to get it out any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I ended up cutting the end off one of the lights then connecting them both to the one lighter jack so you can run them both at the same time..

Ok this is it wrapped and painted I messed up a fair bit on the wrapping but know how to do it properly now and am going to re do it in the future!

Then I also decided to wrap my mirrors! Which turned out pretty good I just put turtle wax over them to hopefully stop water :/

@asxtech it's the perfect blue I wanted voodoo but I couldn't find any new 2013 z series in it so had to settle for this blue but still comes up alright when clean haha!

@pete thanks mate! I figured out how to do it properly when doing the mirrors so going to redo the centre console part you blokes have and idea how to pull the lighter socket out? :/

Too many
Voodoo was only a series one colour. Was replaced with Perfect Blue for series 2 which is why you wouldn't have been able to find one.

That would be why I couldn't find one I prefer the voodoo... And it might look like it because of the polish I use I'm not sure :/

Also does any one know which CAI is the best? I've been looking at the air hammer system for $275 on eBay what's your thoughts?
